Section 6　 “‘White Bikes' on the Road”的课文习读环节 [课时检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Improper disposal of electronic devices can lead to negative impacts on the environment.So if you are in possession of an “old electronics” box or merely an old cellphone, consider recycling as an option.Here are some organizations worth checking out. EcoATM EcoATM is an automated kiosk that collects your unwanted cellphones and tablets and gives you cash for them.You'll find them by the checkout lines at various grocery store chains.It accepts devices from any era or in any condition, and offers anywhere between a few bucks to a few hundred dollars in return. Best Buy Best Buy offers a simple, straightforward recycling program.You can take your old phone to any of its retail stores and it'll take care of the entire recycling process for you.Best Buy will even give you a gift card for the value of the device you give them. Call2Recycle Call2Recycle is one of the largest recycling programs in the United States.The company collects used smartphones and batteries and has them either recycled or refurbished (翻新) for future use.It partners with various retailers to provide recycling services in stores and other smaller businesses. Eco Cell Eco Cell takes a unique approach to recycling phones.The program collects used smartphones and other gadgets for recycling through local zoos and other wildlife organizations.It then gives what it makes from recycling or refurbishing the devices back to those organizations in order to continue their work. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些回收电子设备的组织。 1．What do EcoATM and Best Buy have in common? A．They are based in grocery stores. B．They offer a reward for recycling. C．They collect various kinds of devices. D．They refurbish recycled items. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据EcoATM部分中的“EcoATM is an automated kiosk that collects your unwanted cellphones and tablets and gives you cash for them.”以及Best Buy部分中的“Best Buy will even give you a gift card for the value of the device you give them.”可知，这两者回收旧物时都会给予报酬。 2．Which recycling program has its own retail stores? A．Call2Recycle.　　　　　　 B．Eco Cell. C．Best Buy. D．EcoATM. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据Best Buy部分中的“You can take your old phone to any of its retail stores and it'll take care of the entire recycling process for you.”可知，Best Buy项目有自己的零售店。 3．What distinguishes Eco Cell from the other recycling organizations? A．The variety of items it recycles. B．Its marketing strategies. C．Its pricing policies and structures. D．Its dedication to preserving wildlife. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据Eco Cell部分中的“The program collects ... in order to continue their work.”可知，Eco Cell项目主要通过动物园及野生动物组织开展回收，然后将从中获得的收益回报给这些动物组织以支持其工作，这一点与其他项目不同。 B This summer, a $2.10 billion energy storage project called Nant de Drance opened in Valais, Switzerland.The project, which some people call a “water battery (电池)”， can store more energy than 400,000 car batteries. The system works by gravity.There are two large water reservoirs high in the Swiss mountains.One is much higher than the other.The two are connected by a system of underground passages.When there is too much electricity, Nant de Drance can use that energy to send water from the lower reservoir to the upper one.To produce power, water goes down from the upper reservoir.Gravity pulls the water down into the passages, where it rushes through six large turbines.They produce electricity. Though the system is quite a simple one, building it took 14 years and a lot of effort.The upper reservoir had to be doubled in size.Workers had to create 10.5 miles of large underground passages connecting the two reservoirs.That meant carving out huge amounts of rock from inside the mountains.The turbines are located over a third of a mile underground. As the world turns more and more to renewable energy sources, being able to store energy is very important.Unlike oil, gas, or coal, many renewable energy sources only work some of the time and can not be burned to create energy any time.Solar panels only work when the sun is shining, for example.Wind turbines only create energy when the wind is blowing.Renewable energy must be stored if it's going to be ready to use at any time. Using water to store and create energy isn't a new idea.But in the past, many water storage projects seriously changed or damaged rivers.Because Nant de Drance is almost completely underground, it has caused little damage to the local environment. 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了Nant de Drance——价值21亿美元的“水电池”的工作原理及其优势。 4．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．How Nant de Drance works. B．What Nant de Drance is like. C．What effects the reservoirs have. D．How gravity influences power production. 解析：选A　段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知，本段主要介绍Nant de Drance是如何工作的。 5．Which word can best describe the building of Nant de Drance system? A．Easy. B．Demanding. C．Time－saving. D．Effortless. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三段中“Though the system is quite a simple one, building it took 14 years and a lot of effort.”可知，建造Nant de Drance这项工程是要求高、费时费力的。 6．How does the author explain the necessity of storing renewable energy? A．By giving a description. B．By telling stories. C．By presenting research findings. D．By using examples. 解析：选D　写作手法题。根据第四段中“Solar panels only work when the sun is shining, for example.Wind turbines only create energy when the wind is blowing.”可推断出，作者主要是通过举例子的方式来解释储存可再生能源的必要性。 7．What is one of the advantages of Nant de Drance? A．It can survive longer. B．It can store energy more quickly. C．It's a completely new idea. D．It's environmentally friendly. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Because Nant de Drance is almost completely underground, it has caused little damage to the local environment.”可知，Nant de Drance工程是环保的。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Wondering what you can do to celebrate Earth Day on April 22?
